Nahald: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
http://iamnahald.blogspot.com/2010/09/enders-game-by-orson-scott-card.html
Wednesday, 15 September 2010. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest novels in the world - yet very few seem to know about it. This story of the disturbing use of a child in an attempt to eradicate an entire species is Card's best work (and it is not without competition - let's not forget Songmaster. And I have yet to read the Alvin Maker books). There are numerous "sequels" with Ender, as well as the novel Ender's Shadow. Technically, Ender's Game. Word of the week.

Nahald: The Excrutiating End
http://iamnahald.blogspot.com/2011/10/excrutiating-end.html
Monday, 24 October 2011. At the moment of writing this post I am at the last stages of my first novel (by the time I post this I will, hopefully, have finished). I have about 6 000 words left to write before I'll have reached my goal of 75,000 words. If I reach my goal I will have finished my first full-length novel! So there is more to come, stay tuned. Edit (a year or so later): I chickened out of the editing, and the novel is still a first draft, only now it has some writing in a red pen on the front&...

Sunday, 22 May 2011. School, work, drains, computers and the future. And I thought I would remind you all to backup your work regularly. A dead computer can happen to the best of us! Anyway, since it's been so long I wanted to start up again slightly slower, with just some inspiring quotes, thoughts and ideas. So here you go, and I hope you find something worth writing about!

Nahald: June 2011
http://iamnahald.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 13 June 2011. Fanny Price - Admirable Heroine or Dreary Killjoy? Fanny Price is, in her own way, as much a heroine as any other. She may not have the confidence of Elisabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. Or the careless naïveté of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey. Yet she experiences just as much as they do — if not more — and she has just as great an effect on the other characters in Mansfield Park. Read the rest of the post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Nahald: March 2011
http://iamnahald.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 March 2011. Public Information and Private Secrets in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Many secrets are kept in Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. And many are indiscreetly divulged. F. Where Miss Fairfax is tormented with the shame of having entered into an engagement that has to be concealed. Lucy Steele’s lack of shame is one of many indications of her bad character, and of the folly of youth which drove Edward into making such a choice. . Read the rest of the post. To move away sud...

Nahald: Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga
http://iamnahald.blogspot.com/2011/05/nervous-conditions-by-tsitsi.html
Thursday, 5 May 2011. Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga. Since I've been a little slow on the blogging side lately I thought I would write a short book tip just to prove that I'm alive. Since the time for writing this is coming out of my sleep-time, I'm going to keep it short. Nervous Conditions. So much for how the novel made me feel, but what is it about?

Nahald: 5 Great Novels That Are Also Great TV-Series
http://iamnahald.blogspot.com/2011/04/5-great-novels-that-are-also-great-tv.html
Friday, 29 April 2011. 5 Great Novels That Are Also Great TV-Series. Many great novels have become movies or TV-shows, with varying results. This list will celebrate those that have become great TV-series as well. I strongly recommend reading the books first, not only because they are the original stories, but because they generally contain more detailed information and if you've seen the TV-series already it might be slightly boring going over all of it again. Enjoy! Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
